Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

Why does a person continue to eat, although already full 17.06.2019

The amount of food we eat is critical to our weight. However, despite the feeling of satiety, it is sometimes difficult to stop eating. This is especially true for high-calorie snacks. Scientists from the University of North Carolina studied the reasons for this habit.

An important role in the fact that we cannot resist our desire to consume high-calorie foods is played by the protein nociceptin. In the mammalian nervous system, it acts as a signaling molecule. In laboratory studies in mice, compounds that blocked the activity of the protein influenced the desire to consume high-calorie foods. "The scientists found that inhibition of neurons that produce this protein reduced overeating in mice.

The researchers also found that when the mice were given the opportunity to eat a high-calorie meal, a cycle was triggered in their brain that affected the central part of the amygdala, which is responsible for processing emotions, among other things.

Thus, eating in spite of the feeling of fullness is explained by the complex interaction between proteins and the control of emotions in the brain.
